Italy Decreto Flussi explained for Nigerians

Last checked: 2026-09-16

Requirements may change. Always check the official source before applying.

Quick answer

Decreto Flussi is the framework Italy uses to set entry quotas for many non-EU work categories. It is not a visa and not a personal invitation. A real Italian employer must follow the official employer process for the applicable category and period.

Main requirements

• An eligible category under the current quota rules
• A genuine employer in Italy
• Employer submission within the official process
• Work authorisation before visa application where required

Documents to check

• Employer’s official submission and authorisation
• Employment terms
• Worker passport details
• Visa documents after the authorisation stage

Step-by-step

1. Check the current official quota decree and category
2. Verify the employer
3. Let the employer complete the official filing
4. Apply for the visa only after the required approval

Common mistakes

• Buying a quota number
• Believing a social-media form is a visa application
• No direct contact with the real employer

Next step

Return to the Italy hub and compare this route with the other legal options. Do not pay an agent or employer before verifying the information through an official source.
